Chapter 2247 Classes
From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there were three calls for the abolition of Chinese medicine. In 1879, Mr. Yu Yue, the master of Chinese studies in the late Qing Dynasty, clearly suggested the abolition of Chinese medicine for the first time in his "On Abolished Medicine". Mr. Yu Yue believes that all theories of Chinese medicine are based on Yin-Yang and Five Elements, supplemented by some theories of the lungs and meridians. This is a very absurd and ignorant thing.
Liang Qichao, Yan Fu and Mao Zedong all once supported this theory. Yu Yue and Yan Fu are considered to be more rational. The theory that traditional Chinese medicine is not abolishing medicine but abolishing medicine, which is popular on the Internet, is derived from his theory.
The latter two are fierce factions. Liang Qichao once fiercely criticized the practice of Chinese medicine, "the shame of academia is nothing more than that!" Mao Zedong even wrote an article in the "New Youth" newspaper, "I don't understand the structure of the human body." , It’s not about the analysis of the nature of the medicine, but I only know that the theory of the five elements that can suppress cold, heat, and yin and yang is attached.
In 1912, the Beiyang government promulgated the "Renzi Guichou Academic System" and excluded Chinese medicine from the formal education system. The Director of Education Wang Daxie publicly stated, "Our national medicine has no scientific basis, and I am determined to abolish Chinese medicine in the future. It is difficult to approve the section requested to file a case."
Then the Northern Expedition was successful. In 1929, the Central Health Conference of the Nanjing National Government made the decision to "gradually abolish traditional Chinese medicine within a period of 40 years". This was the third time that "Chinese medicine" was abolished.
But none of them solved a problem, that is, without traditional Chinese medicine, what would the 400 million Chinese people do? Can the country provide so many qualified western medicines all of a sudden? Those policy makers are not worried about having no western medicine to treat them, no western medicine to take, and even many of them have become compradors and made a fortune by importing and selling western medicine, but ordinary people can’t afford it. I look down on Western medicine even when I start Western medicine.
Therefore, these few bans have become a piece of waste paper. Traditional Chinese medicine is still prevalent in the world. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, traditional Chinese medicine was restored again. So many people always need to see a doctor and take medicine, this is the most important issue.
However, this does not mean that there are no problems in Chinese medicine. In the past, the West also used the "pathology theory of four body fluids", which is similar to the Chinese theory of yin and yang and five elements. However, with the development of science and technology, Western medical theories have greatly improved, and " The theory of pathology of four body fluids has given birth to various theories such as pathology and bacteriology, while Chinese medicine still uses the ancient Yin-Yang and Five Elements, which obviously does not meet the development needs of the times.
Some people in later generations described traditional Chinese medicine in this way. In science, this situation is called the black box theory. The black box refers to the system whose internal structure and mechanism of action are not yet understood, and the white box refers to the system whose internal structure and mechanism of action have been clearly understood; It does work, but why it works has never been perfectly explained.
Shen Long did not dare to say that he could figure out this theory, but with the introduction of advanced Western technology,
It is definitely not wrong to strengthen the research on traditional Chinese medicine. Isn’t that how artemisinin was born?
"Recent Advances in Western Medicine is a better course, no lecture notes required, I subscribe to Nature, The Lancet, NEJM, BMJ and JAMA ” and other medical journals, when the time comes, select some important papers and translate them, and explain them to the students.” After talking about the courses he was going to take, Shen Long began to talk about the content of the class again.
"As for the course "Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine", I have already prepared the lecture notes, and I ask Mr. Ban to give me some pointers." The research on the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has accumulated a large amount of data in later generations. Shen Long extracted Peking University School of Medicine from Bai Ze's database. The teaching materials, and according to the existing level of scientific and technological development have been deleted and revised, and only then have this handout.
"It seems that even if I don't come to the door, Jing Qi, you still plan to teach and educate people!" Xu Dingchao sighed, and then solemnly took the handout and began to study it. This handout is very time-consuming to study, after all, it is for teaching students. So Xu Dingchao made arrangements for Shen Long to give lectures on "The Latest Advances in Western Medicine" and "Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine" after he and the teachers in the medical practice hall carefully studied and reviewed the lectures.
Shen Long knew that there is a clear distinction between Chinese and Western medicine nowadays, and his lecture notes would be opposed by both Chinese and Western medicine teachers in the practice hall, but he was not worried, they would eventually be convinced in the face of iron-clad facts.
So, the next day, Shen Long began to teach the students. When he entered the classroom, Shen Long saw that many students below were younger than himself, which was not surprising. He was only in his early twenties this year.
These students all looked at Shen Long curiously, but seeing Xu Dingchao and many other teachers entering the classroom, sitting in the back and preparing to listen to the class with them, they didn't dare to say anything.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Bai Jingqi, and I am a son of the old Bai family of the Baicao Hall in Beijing." Shen Long wrote down his name, "Everyone will be very curious when they hear this. I come from a family of medicine like me. I will teach you Traditional Chinese medicine may be normal, but why did you come to teach "The Latest Advances in Western Medicine"? Do I understand this?"
There was a lot of laughter among the students. Today's teachers pay attention to the dignity of teachers, and they are very serious in class. It is rare to see such a relaxed and funny person like Shen Long.
"I want to explain this. I really understand. Although I was born in Baicao Hall, I studied Chinese medicine since I was a child. I started to prescribe prescriptions for people when I was eight years old; but I did not let go of my understanding of Western medicine. I also learned more than ten years old. Years of foreign language, English, German, Japanese are considered proficient, and long-term subscriptions to various mainstream Western medical scientific research journals."
"I have a good understanding of the latest developments in Western medicine. I also wrote a paper this year and published it in the "Nature" magazine in England. I will tell you about this paper in today's class."
"I'm telling you that this is not all about showing off my achievements. Of course, I have to show off. After all, up to now, the only Chinese people who can publish papers in "Nature" are me and Jiangsu Xu Shou and Xu Xuecun. Sir! And I’m so young, if I don’t show you that I have real materials, you will definitely not accept me!”
"The more important thing is to let you understand that although our current technological level lags behind the West, we will not always lag behind. We Chinese can also make scientific research achievements that surprise the Western world!"
